The second volume in a 3-book series Duress – the extreme experience war produces – brings out the most remarkable human qualities, and letters written in wartime contain some of the most intense emotion imaginable. This anthology includes letters that date as far back as the Boer War (which began in 1899) and extend up to 2002, when Canadian peacekeepers served in Afghanistan. Between are letters from the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and a number of peacekeeping missions. It contains some of the most powerful writing that Canadians – whether reassuring loved ones, recounting the bitter reality of battle, or describing the appalling conditions of combat–have ever committed to the page. The letters Canadians have written during wartime are proud and self-deprecating, stoic and complaining, brave and fearful, tender and violent, funny and poignant. The Book of War Letters tells us something about what it means to be Canadian, and what it means to be alive.

The Book of War Letters

They're all here - redwoods, Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, western red cedar, big-leaf maple, giant sequoia, grand fir, black cottonwood, western hemlock, Garry oak, and many others such as the arbutus and yew that are big in other ways. But author Audrey Grescoe doesn't just describe these monarchs of the forest; she tells their stories in terms of the people who have used, abused, discovered, studied, and protected them past and present. Highlighted by photographer Bob Herger's stunning fullcolor photographs, Giants is a compendium of big-tree lore. The reader will learn about urban forests in Vancouver and Portland, the medicinal qualities of the yew, the wonders of the red alder, forest friends and foes such as wildfire and insects, the mysteries of tree rings, and just where the West Coast's biggest trees can be found.
